Hernia op recovery

[MR-FQ320]

Now then brothers, riddle me this...
Brief timeline of events, long cycle, competed, went on holiday and did some tendon damage arm wrestling, could only train legs for a month, then it was hernia op and now I can't lift anything under docs orders for another four weeks, then i could have a week in the gym but then another holiday, and I had planned another cycle after this holiday but I fear not being up to full strength before starting a cycle could be problematic. Thoughts please. Delay cycle until up to full strength naturally ??

I had a hernia repaired back in 1987. Only missed a week of work and about 3 weeks out of the gym. With this being said I "felt" the repair for at least a year. My doc said i could not damage what he repared however the area takes at least 12 weeks to heal properly. You'll feel the tightness and hardness in the repaired area for over a year. No problems since. I'd personally hold off awhile until you feel comfortable pushing hard. You'll probably have the tendency to baby the area so no need to waste a cycle if you can't hit it all out. Just my opinion.

Iam with 600 I was doing cardio in a week weights in a month but for a good year I could injure the area with heavy compound movements and over strain I would say iam still not 100 percent but iam 85-90 and I got it repaired early 2014..it's one of those things that sticks with you unfortunately

That ^^^.

I had one repaired laparoscopically years ago. Put a screen in. I asked him to just put one in on the other side while there just in case, he said no......
